The Apprentice (TV series)/Heartwarming

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • In the US Season 2, the teams are tasked to come up with a recruiting ad campaign for the New York Police Department. The winning team, Mosaic, had the questions, "When was the last time you saved a life?", "When was the last time you were fearless?", and "When was the last time you made your family proud?" as their theme, showing the human side of the NYPD. The judge that show, Donny Deutch, gave them the win in a landslide, saying it wasn't even close. Mosaic got to watch their ad on the jumbo TVs in Times Square (since they did the city of New York something wonderful thing, the city would return the favor).
    • The team leader was a then-23-year-old, then-recent Harvard graduate named Andy Litinsky now known as Andy Dean. Although he wasn't that season's Apprentice, he was hired by Trump for several years as President of Trump Productions. He is currently a radio talk show host and political commentator. This also doubles as a Moment of Awesome as he fought for staying true to his vision (which went for the heart and emotion) instead of going with the more militaristic theme that the rest of his team wanted to use in their ad (the other team actually did use such a theme in their ad, which proceeded to bomb horribly as a result).
  • In the US Season 4, Rebecca Jarvis and Randal Pinkett won the last pre-final episode. Their prize? To sail on the schooner Shearwater. But they wouldn't be alone: Randal's wife and Rebecca's boyfriend joined them.
  • In the UK Season 6, the speech Lord Sugar gave Joanna Riley.

Lord Sugar: "Joanna, we all admire what you've done here, and I'm gonna give you...the best bit of advice, and you should take it. You don't like what you're doing at the moment. Get to like it and do more of it. (...) But you leave here with your head high, let me tell you that. You leave here with your head high, because you're a prime example of someone who's prepared to work hard and sling yourself into things. You've done very, very well. Joanna, I'm sorry to say...you're fired."
